Needed someone to install a wall mount for my tv. Thanh came in early morning which was great and was in and out in 30 minutes. Very professional and cool guy and did an awesome job. Will definitely be calling him back should I need anymore work done.

Robert made provisions to install 5.1 surround sound speakers in my living room, by cutting holes in the ceiling where the speakers will eventually be installed. He was very careful with the layout and measurements for the speaker placement and routing of the speaker wires. He also mounted my very heavy 50" Plasma TV above our fire place, which came out very nice. Robert's price for the work performed was fair and I am satisfied with the quality of his workmanship.

Aaron is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He came to my aid for setting up a receiver with the home surround system in my living room. After an hour, I liked his attention to detail so I asked him to put up our TV with a mount purchased from Costco. He did that in an hour and half. Will use him for future electronic projects for sure.

Brian was very helpful, called to let me know he would be a little early for our appointment, which was good. In a very short time he had the surround sound set up and showed me how everything worked on the remote control.

I was looking for a 1-stop shop (TV Installation; stereo and speaker purchase/installation)-fantastic result! Keith installed a new Samsung 75" TV on a wall (above our fireplace) we weren't sure could be done.
He also installed 5 speakers in the ceiling. The electrical/cable relocation and installation look like the house was built that way.
If you want someone who is meticulous and knows what their doing, hire Keith!

Juan did an outstanding job. His communication is excellent. On time to my home for a complicated install. He walked me through the process and communicated clearly the technical setup with options so that I could understand.
I would highly recommend Juan for any home audio visual installation.

Josh from Project Automate was very punctual from start to finish. First they started with the pre-wire throughout the house, running all the speaker wire and network cables through the walls. They were all brought together neatly into an equipment rack where all the other electronics were mounted very cleanly, and organized. Then they installed the speakers and TVs in the rooms. All the systems installed included distributed audio and video throughout the house, WIFI, wireless lighting control, security alarm, surveillance cameras, climate control, and touchscreens throughout the house. They were all brought together into an easy to use Control4 automation system that made it possible to control from anywhere in the world using my iPad and iPhone. There were a few hitches later in the project that took a little more time to figure out than anticipated, but they didn't charge me any additional amount over the figure on the proposal for the extra time required to get everything working properly. After the project wascompleted the entire automation system worked perfectly without any significant issues, and when something did come up, like the extra programming I wanted to integrate my Sonos system, Project Automate was out there the next day to get that set up. I would absolutely recommend them in the future for anyone seeking an impressive advanced automation system.

He really knows his stuff. He selected our new 65" TV, made a custom remote control, gave us a great sound system and altered our old space to fit all of it. It looks totally custom. Steve also set up a wifi booster for the back of the house and organized a wire-filled desk. Altogether, a great job. Very happy customer.

“Ken was the primary installer of our Sound System, which included audio, video recording and visual presentation. His work ethic is stellar; he stayed and worked long hours through the various challenges of our system installation. Ken is not only very knowledgeable about sound systems, but is also very creative and flexible with the installation as well. He could communicate the most technical task and translate it into lay language. Ken was here on site beginning to end, and followed-up with us the first few months and made sure everything was working well.”

I have used Jim many times for a wide variety of repairs and services. There are not enough good things I can say about him. He has rebuilt my wood gate, done plumbing repairs, drywall, and many small repairs including sewing to fix my blinds. My list was long and wide. Jim did it in no time and was always on time. I highly recommend him and with his affordable rates will continue to use him for all my handyman and installation needs.

These guys from Coastline TV Installs were fantastic! We had our 80" TV mounted and it looks beautiful. Matt got it perfectly centered and contained all wires coming out of the wall very well!
We will definitely be calling them back when we wire the house and patio for surround sound!
I highly highly recommend, and am a pretty tough customer, so call these guys!

Nothing could be better. Quality reliable service and consultation to match the excellence of the product line. Rarely do you find such beautifully designed and technically exceptional products in todays market with an eye towards keeping the product relevant to the market place and the user. Always fashion forward in their approach-you can count on Bang and Olufsen to deliver to the cutting edge without exception. For sound equipment it is as if you never heard the beauty of sound before listening to their devices. Braden Eyre in the Pasadena location is an expert at matching your needs to the systems available and you can count on his depth of knowledge of the product line to deliver the goods! ....and install them!!!

Julie helped with a full renovation on my homes, both interior and exterior. She was able to incorporate my ideas with her own interior design talents and the result was a terrific design. I enjoyed being able to relax and take her advice and knowing that it would be sound, and that my concerns were listened to.
We went through a few drastic changes both inside and out, including stonework, complete new landscaping, installing a gourmet kitchen, antique wooden doors and mantle, french doors throughout, lighting, designer cabinetry and floors. I am highly satisfied, the end results are beautiful. The pictures can be referenced on her website. I would highly recommend her and her expertise.

MaxElectric was very helpful. Mario fulfilled my wife's dreams of a backyard patio cover witch we are 100% satisfied with. One of the best I've seen done, we also had 2 out door ceiling fans installed with switches in the patio cover & surround sound speakers also a wash sink for our BBQ. (((Very reasonable with price))). We will definitely be calling Mario back for our projects. Thank you MaxElectric.

I work for myself.
I will install an interior surround system that pretty much is worth what you're paying -- way worth it.
